2021 Mercedes-Benz CLA vs. 2021 Jaguar XE

For buyers of the Mercedes-Benz CLA, the 2021 model comes with a host of delights. The Mercedes-Benz CLA is a compact sedan that offers amazing ride quality. The Mercedes-Benz CLA has a generous trunk space and the interior cabin is plush. This makes the CLA a very practical sedan for Americans looking for functionally without compromising ride quality. On the other hand, the 2021 Jaguar XE comes with an extraordinary pedigree which it certainly lives up to. It has a great interior and the exterior design is as sporty as ever. Here is a comparison of these two fantastic sedans.

Design & Styles

When designing the 2021 CLA, Mercedes-Benz engineers went to great lengths to ensure that the car combined functionality and good looks. With a generous trunk space, the CLA is ideal for shopping runs while cocooning its occupants inside a luxurious cabin. The layout of the instrumentation panel is well thought out and everything is located exactly where you would expect it to be. The 2021 Jaguar XE is equally well-styled and follows the design cues that are common with Jaguar models. The interior is just as good and made with premium materials.

Technology & Safety

When it comes to tech, the 2021 CLA comes laden with tech features. These include Bluetooth® connectivity as well as smartphone integration. The infotainment display is easy to use and very responsive. The CLA also features lane assist function as well as blindspot monitoring. The 2021 Jaguar XE on the other hand comes with a touchscreen display that controls the infotainment display. While it is well designed, the infotainment system is sluggish and thus can be hard to use while driving the XE.

Performance

Under the hood, the Mercedes-Benz CLA features a 2-liter turbocharged engine that powers this nimble sedan even when carrying full loads. The Mercedes-Benz CLA also has a refined suspension that ensures superb ride quality. The CLA also dispatches corners with ease and is a fun car to drive. The Jaguar XE is powered by a 6-cylinder V6 and also delivers an amazing driving experience. The XE handles superbly as one would expect of a vehicle of this pedigree. In an attempt to make the car sportier, Jaguar gave the 2021 XE a rather stiff suspension (even when set to ‘comfort’) which is the only blemish in ride quality.

The Bottom Line

These two sedans are well-engineered and a comparison of them was always going to be a close one. However, there are some subtle differences between the two. For example, the XE does not deliver the same level of ride quality as the 2021 Mercedes-Benz CLA. The CLA is also more functional and delivers greater value for money. For these reasons, the 2021 CLA wins this comparison.
